The setting is nice though and the service is adequate. There is only one... More

The salad buffet was good and planty of hot dishes to choose from, yet the desserts were not very appetising looking. I advise taking a picnic into Petra... More

Believe me, we were not expecting much since the resturant was litterally in the middle of nowhere. What a delisious surprise. Yes.....yet another buffet, but lots of choices (meats, breads, dips, salads, veggies and dessert) for everyone. Most importantly....clean. Perfect meal to "batteries" the legs for the walk out.

While visiting Petra sites we found this restaurant managed by Crowne Plaza Hotel. They serve a very good buffet during lunch time, although not cheap a very good place to consider if you are going to walk up to the Monastery as it is close to this trail. The grilled chicken was excellent as well as their salads and dips.... More
